Jefferson’s Ocean Aged at Sea Bourbon
Straight Bourbon Whiskey | 45% ABV (90 Proof) | 750 mL
Process & Profile
Jefferson’s Ocean Aged at Sea Bourbon begins as matured Kentucky bourbon, selected from smaller or older barrels before being loaded onto ocean vessels. These barrels then travel through over 25 ports across five continents and cross the equator multiple times, with ship motion, salt air, and extreme temperature shifts accelerating barrel interaction and maturation. The result is a deeper, richer bourbon with maritime character.
